What is so dangerous with hard toothbrushes?

The reason you shouldn't use hard brushes is because it'll tend to irritate the gums where you brush them. Irritation makes the gum tissue say "sayonara!" and you get recession.
It's the same reason why you need to floss. The food/bacteria stuck between your teeth causes irritation and inflammation and this leads to your gums and bone between your teeth to recede. Not good.
